Drone surveying & photogrammetry in Carcassonne

Free quote — surveying & photogrammetry in Carcassonne

Around Carcassonne, land consolidation, development zones and infrastructure call for up-to-date surveys: the drone covers dozens of hectares per flight and delivers DTMs, contour lines and volumes with fully traceable accuracy. From Cité de Carcassonne (UNESCO) to the outlying districts, our pilots know the terrain of Carcassonne and prepare every flight on the local aeronautical chart.

The Aude economy relies on heritage tourism, winegrowing (Cabardès, Malepère, Corbières) and wind power. Typical drone missions: promotional imagery for wine estates and hotels, real estate, construction monitoring, wind-farm inspection on the department's windy ridges. Carcassonne holds two UNESCO listings: the medieval Cité with its 52 towers restored by Viollet-le-Duc — Europe's largest fortified ensemble, 2 million visitors a year — and the Canal du Midi crossing the Saint-Louis bastide.
